Does anyone else out there get as choked up as I do when their gear gets nicked.Between June and October I lost 3 prawn traps and four crab traps.Not counting the times I'm sure my traps have been pulled and emptied in the middle of the night.
Two prawn traps were taken off Whiskey point ...and one from Deepcove.Three crab traps were taken in Cowichan bay and one in Burgoyne Bay.
It was an expensive summer for traps.Its been getting worse IMHO.
short of staking out the traps.How are you going to catch the culprits.Local gossip has a pretty good idea who empties the traps at night....but not who steals the gear.Cowichan Bay is a small community.Its pretty tough to get away with **** like that without someone on the dock finding out.Its not just my bad luck either ...lots of guys this year have had problems.
Any one have any Ideas how to slow this down or stop it....other than always go crabing during the day and hang out near your gear
